Scholars discovered how to create the illusion of
3-dimensions on a
2-dimensional surface.
Value is an effective element to use in creating what appears to be a 3-dimensional object. Scholars identified and drew a range of 5 different values: light, medium light, medium, medium dark and dark.

Scholars looked very closely at a variety of objects to perceive the highlights, shadows and reflected lights within the shadows--shadows have shadows!

Foreground, Middle Ground, Background; Overlapping

After setting up a sculpture from items from crew members' backpacks, scholars drew the sculpture. Additional dimensions were then drawn to give the sense of space.
